Youtube issues, came from nowhere?

Hemske · 07-31-2012, 05:58 PM

I think I am about to kill something soon if I don't get this fixed.

One day, I began having problems with playing youtube videos. No lag, or slow buffering or something like this. It is only that the video sort of "flimmers" and I get squares/weird colors covering half the video, lower part of it always I believe. It stays like that a couple seconds at the most, and then it dissapears. And suddenly it happens again. I don't really find the words to describe my problem better. (not a native english speaker) If someone get what I mean, and know a solution for this, please help me. This is seriously pissing me off. It happens at random times. I also have no idea what to search for, as I don't find the right word, well, a better word than that it "flimmers".

Do you have any issues in video games? Could be that your graphics card is broken.

yes i'm having the same problems and my graphics card isn't broken or anything likek that :S

Sounds like a driver or player bug.

I do not know if this is relevant. But I had issues couple of months ago. While playing some games (yes only some games, and only fullscreen) where the graphic driver had to restart. Screen went black and the game froze some seconds, until the driver was reset. Haven't noticed anything of this lately though.

Can post a screenshot later today.

Because you're doing two heavy operations at the same time.

Or upgrading your processor drivers.

And more seriously, definitely a video card problem, can't think of anything else.

Defective video card it is if it happened a few months ago.

Hemske · 08-01-2012, 06:43 PM

So what you are saying is that I need a new video card to get rid of this?

Vengeancekael · 08-01-2012, 07:56 PM

Have you played around in a few video games to really see if it's broken? You might get crashes or even a blue screen. If you do, then it's definitely your video card.

Dr Super Good · 08-01-2012, 10:44 PM

If you are using DVI/HDMI to connect your display it can also be caused by heavy noise in the cable but that should happen at any time no matter what is on display.

I have actually had like 3-4 bluescreens (while playing I believe) the last ~half a year. Haven't noticed anything lately though, but the reason for that could be that I just don't play that much anymore. And my video card got some years on it. Too bad that shit is so expensive :/

@DSG, I got two screens, and the only time it happens is on youtube videos (from what I've noticed, that is) and on both screens.
